To sign this word, you will fingerspell it: J-I-Z-Z. Start by extending your pinky finger and drawing a hook shape in the air for the letter 'J'. Keep your pinky extended and hold it still for the letter 'I'. Finally, extend your index finger and draw the letter 'Z' in the air twice to complete the word.
Fingerspell J-I-Z-Z, then sign 'MEAN' with a furrowed brow to ask for clarification about this slang term.
After fingerspelling the word, sign 'BAD' and 'WORD' while raising your eyebrows to indicate a yes/no question.
Point to an imaginary board, then fingerspell the word clearly to show exactly what was written down.

While there are standard ASL signs for clinical or anatomical terms, this specific slang word is typically fingerspelled to convey the exact English slang and its informal tone.
You can either draw the 'Z' twice with your index finger, moving your hand slightly to the right for the second 'Z', or use a 'V' handshape (index and middle fingers) to draw a single 'Z'.
Just like in spoken English, it is a vulgar slang term. It should be used with caution and only in appropriate, informal contexts where such language is acceptable.
